Abstract: An exemplary method includes a remote control management system detecting that a user wearing a wearable computer system that includes an optical head-mounted display is looking through the optical head-mounted display at a display screen associated with a media content processing device, determining, in response to the detecting, that the media content processing device is executing an application that is controllable by the wearable computer system, determining that the user is authorized to interact with the application being executed by the media content processing device, and establishing, in response to the determining that the media content processing device is executing the application and the determining that the user is authorized to interact with the application, a remote control session between the wearable computer system and the application. Corresponding systems and methods are also described.

Abstract: An exemplary method includes a media content presentation system dynamically maintaining a list of recommended media content programs for a user and available by way of a media content access device during a media content presentation session, detecting a channel surfing command provided by the user during the media content presentation session, and directing, in response to the channel surfing command, the media content access device to switch to a channel presenting a recommended media content program included in the list of recommended media content programs. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.

Abstract: An exemplary method includes an application event handling system 1) detecting an occurrence of an event initiated by a user and associated with an application configured to be executed by a computing device, 2) determining, in response to the detecting, that another event previously initiated by the user and associated with the application is either already being processed by the computing device or already scheduled for processing by the computing device, 3) directing, in response to the determining, the computing device to ignore the previously initiated event, 4) scheduling, in response to the determining, the event to be processed by the computing device after a delay timer expires, and 5) starting, in response to the scheduling, the delay timer. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.
